I'm starting to whine like a native Oregonian. Come on now, the Junior Rose Festival Parade is today. We've gathered up a pack of kids who will be carrying a TIME OUT comedy banner. We've got candy to hand out. Don't make me wear a wetsuit again. It is slimming though. I wish all my …
Who’s the best parent ever? You are
Not that this story is the worst childhood tale ever told, but it will make you feel better about your parenting. Hold onto your seats as I take you on a high-speed chase. I double-dog dare you to show up tonight and see for yourself. I triple-dog dare you to show up wearing frosted lip …

Better the stall than the mall
Performing at "Rave in the Nave" was a complete blast this weekend. My name made it to the bathroom stall WITHOUT any diagrams or descriptive terms.

The love catcher on Mother’s Day!
My kids so totally rock! They each made me glass light catchers - cubes dotted with molten color. One's a necklace; the other a window catcher. They went to the store and picked out a burst of different color roses and three different kinds of chocolate. "We were going to give you a trash can," …
